Combining all the resources here is what we know so far.

C5 Aircross is powered by a Diesel Engine

Popping the hood open, we’ll witness a new 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine.

  • This refined motor is capable of producing a peak power of 180hp along with a max torque of 400Nm.
  • Unfortunately, the transmission channelizes the power from the engine to only the front wheels.
  • Speaking of which, the motor comes mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission which is a torque converter. And there is no manual transmission on offer as of now.

A unique feature about the transmission assembly is that the shifter is ride by wire. This is where the gearshift is electronically connected with the transmission instead of a wired or mechanical connection.

That said, Citroen claims this will reduce the overall NVH levels inside the cabin in conjunction to complementing the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
